I did like the Black Mages version of it with the clean female vocal. Maybe it didn't fit the music as well as a growler would, but it was far preferable to the overly processed growling in the original version where it sounded like an autotuned metalcore vocalist with a paper bag on his head.

I like the original vocals a lot. The problem I have with it is the drums sound like shit. They should sound really powerful and driving, and they sound like they got a jazz drummer to come in and lightly play for them. It just doesn't fit.

Yeah, that does. Let me go back to my previous opinion on the arranged Battle Theme. I listened to it some more, and I think I actually prefer it over the original. I was in a bad mood when I first listened to the arranged version Is it the entire soundtrack being arranged? I really want to hear "Wandering Flame" arranged. My favorite song in the game. I used to use it as mediation music :P

"Tokyo Game Show will not be the place Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster gets dated, as so many probably hoped it would.

Instead, a new press released issued to us by Square Enix lists the launch date for the PS3 and Vita title as "Winter" instead of their previously touted 2013. Pricing and packaged details remain TBA as well, although we know both X and X-2 will be bundled eventually with custom PS Vita hardware in Japan." -- Nova Crystallis
